The BOE of today, Thursday, September 17, 2026, publishes three general provisions of special economic relevance: the creation of a framework to identify and process strategic investment projects, a regime of direct subsidies to finance investments in municipalities of the Campo de Gibraltar, and the creation of a capacity market for the Spanish peninsular electrical system.
The edition corresponds to number 230 of the Official State Bulletin. Alongside these regulations, the official newspaper includes new public employment calls, actions on fishing and the environment, and various tenders from public administrations.
New procedure to declare strategic investment projects
The Government regulates through Royal Decree 731/2026, of September 16, the Strategic Investments Committee and develops the criteria and procedure for the declaration of Strategic Investment Projects.
The regulation thus establishes the organizational and procedural framework to determine which projects can receive this designation. The summary of the BOE identifies the object of the royal decree, but does not detail on its pages the specific criteria or phases of the procedure, so no requirements or effects that do not appear in the provided document are incorporated here.
Direct subsidies for investments in the Campo de Gibraltar
The Ministry of Finance publishes Royal Decree 732/2026, of September 16, which regulates the direct granting of subsidies for the financing of investments made in the municipalities of the Campo de Gibraltar region.
The provision establishes the framework for these direct aids aimed at financing investments in the municipalities of the region. The summary does not include individualized amounts, specific fundable projects, or the application and payment schedule, so those details cannot be specified based on the provided document.
The peninsular electrical system incorporates a capacity market
The third major provision of the section of general norms is Order TED/966/2026, of September 15, by which a capacity market in the Spanish peninsular electrical system is created.
The new figure is incorporated through an order from the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge within the regulation of the electrical system. The summary identifies the creation of the market but does not develop its operating rules, participants, products, or economic mechanisms, so no details that do not appear in the document are added.
The Valencian Community publishes its budgets for 2026
The BOE also incorporates two laws from the Valencian Community: the Law 4/2026, of July 22, on the budgets of the Generalitat for the fiscal year 2026, and Law 5/2026, of July 31, on fiscal measures, administrative and financial management, and organization.
Both regulations appear in the section of general provisions of the edition and complete the legislative block published this Thursday.
New public employment calls
The edition of the BOE of today also includes various selection processes and provisions of positions. Among them is the call for positions of Local Police Officer in municipalities of Extremadura through open competition.
Defense publishes the list of candidates who have passed the selection process to access the Scale of Senior Scientists of Defense. Education also approves the syllabus for the opposition phase for access to the Body of Education Inspectors.
More measures on fishing, environment, and heritage
Agriculture sets the surplus of the maximum volume of anchovy catches in the CIEM 8 area for 2026, which will be distributed among the groups of purse seine vessels from the Cantabrian and Northwest fishing grounds.
In environmental matters, the BOE publishes the environmental impact declaration of the project for green filters and semi-natural wetlands in the surroundings of the Mar Menor. Culture also includes two orders exercising the right of first refusal on lots auctioned by the Ansorena room in Madrid.
New infrastructure actions are also published
Among the contracting announcements is the tender for works to improve public transport accessibility on the Southern Highway, A-4, in Madrid, while the Ministry of Housing formalizes the works for the sustainable rehabilitation of the Palacio de Malpica in Toledo.
The BOE also submits for public information the project for a new processing building in the T123 terminal complex of the Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport.
